The first year I spent with my husband and his family we had only been dating for 6 months and I wasn’t exactly sure what to get his parents for Christmas. We weren’t married or even engaged yet so I felt kind of weird going out and buying them some big present but I did want to get them something. So my sister gave me an idea of homemade hot chocolate. I went and bought enough mugs for there family and then I made the hot chocolate to go with it. I thought it turned out to be a really cute and thoughtful gift. Since then I have given it to friends and neighbors during the holidays. So here is the recipe.
Homemade Hot Chocolate
- 6 2/3 cups nonfat dry milk powder
- 1 cup instant chocolate drink mix
- 1 (5 ounce) package cook-and-serve chocolate pudding mix
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered nondairy creamer
- 1/2 cup baking cocoa
Mix it all together in a bowl and then you can separate it into smaller packages to give out.
This is really cute given in a mug with a candy cane or marshmallows!
